Carry On
The Matchup Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too busy playing a bunch of shows
And even when we're not around
Don't worry babes, we're safe and sound
You give me the strength and the will
The power to carry on
But in the end it's all we have
Some folks may never understand
That we will do this until the end
Wheels are turning, fate's been chosen, now we know where we go
Until the end of time
Swollen faces, hair are turning grey, we're getting older
Still givin' it one good try
